How is Autism Diagnosed?

Diagnosis for children usually consists of two steps:

1. A developmental screening will tell your doctor if your child is on track with fundamental skills such as learning, speaking, behavior, and movement. Experts recommend that children be screened for these developmental delays at 9 months, 18 months, and 24 or 30 months of age. At their 18-month and 24-month checkups, children are routinely tested for autism.

2. If your child shows signs of a problem during these screenings, they will require a more thorough evaluation. Hearing and vision tests, as well as genetic tests, may be included. Your doctor may refer you to a developmental pediatrician or a child psychologist who specializes in autism disorders. Some psychologists can also administer the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule test (ADOS).

If you were not diagnosed with autism as a child but are noticing signs or symptoms, consult your doctor.
